The quartering act was were the colonists had to give supplies to an army that England sent over with transportation ,candles ,food ,water and some times even provide a soldier with a spare room.The quartering act happened after the French and Indian War. The king thought the colonists needed protection from the Indians in the east and France in the north and east. The solders were treated very badly and some were called names like lobster back because of there red coats. The quartering act lead to the Boston massacre. I think the solders should have been treated better because they were sent there under British command they couldn't help it .
